CHICAGO, May 6, 2020– Today, United Airlines, Inc. (“United”) announced that it intends to commence a private offering to eligible purchasers of $2.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of two series of notes, the senior secured notes due 2023 and the senior secured notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), subject to market and other conditions. The Notes will be guaranteed by United’s parent company United Airlines Holdings, Inc.

The final terms and amounts of the Notes are subject to market and other conditions and may be materially different than expectations.
